best of what they did, for He rewards every good made for His
            cause, as the following verses proclaim:
                 Will the reward for doing good be anything other than
                 good? (Surat ar-Rahman, 55:60)
                 What will those who invent lies against Allah think on the
                 Day of Rising? Allah shows favor to mankind, but most of
                 them are not thankful. (Surah Yunus, 10:60)
                 Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or
                 small; nor will they cross any valley, without it being writ-
                 ten down for them, so that Allah can recompense them for
                 the best of what they did. (Surat at-Tawba, 9:121)
                 The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in the Way
                 of Allah is that of a grain that produces seven ears; in every
                 ear are a hundred grains. Allah gives such multiplied in-
                 crease to whoever He wills. Allah is All-Encompassing,
                 All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:261)
                 Satan promises you poverty and commands you to avarice.
                 Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and abundance.
                 Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara,
                 2:268)
